Gareth Bale looks to be inching closer to a return to the Premier League with Betway going 2/1 for the Welshman to make the switch to Manchester United, while the latest betting also suggests Real Madrid could fill the void with Chelsea’s Eden Hazard.

Madrid winger Bale, who has struggled this season with injury and a loss of form, is even-money to remain at the Bernabeu, but it appears the Spanish giants could be lining up a replacement in the shape of Hazard, who has been backed into 6/5 to sign.

Chelsea are as big as 8/1 to see Bale come their way, while top-flight rivals United head the betting for the winger’s services at just 2/1 and Bale’s old club Tottenham come next at 4/1.

Betway’s Alan Alger, said: “Gareth Bale was once again an unused substitute in Real Madrid’s semi-final win over Bayern Munich last night and rumours continue to swirl about the Welshman’s future.

“His future looks unsteady, particularly with Eden Hazard just 6/5 to be added to the Galacticos squad over the summer, and we’re happy to offer evens on him being at the Bernabeu at the end of the summer transfer window.

“Man United have been fancied for the last couple of months to sign Bale and it’s now just 2/1 for him to make his Premier League return by moving to Old Trafford.”
